Pat McMurtry (3-0 1) vs. Harry Thomas (3-0 2) – McMurtry had won a majority decision over Mister Snipes, while Thomas had scored a 7^th round KO against DaVarryl Williamson. This had the makings of a classic boxer/slugger encounter!

Harry, who had come in a little less-toned, dominated the first 2 minutes. Landing a hard hook, a solid cross and a wicked straight right, he had Irish Pat in a bad way

! Pat came back in the last minute, keeping Thomas at bay and scoring enough to make it respectable, 16-7. McMurtry was much more wary of Thomas’ power in the 2^nd. Landing a sharp hook, and a number of jabs, he punched his way to an 8-4 round.

Pat landed 3 hard shots in a row, then another crisp hook, to fashion a quick lead in the 3^rd. Harry staggered him with a lethal left, then they traded blows. Each landed 31 times, but Irish Pat scored a little better, 13-11! Like the 3^rd, McMurtry jumped out in the 4^th, helped by a sonic cross and a series of jabs and hooks. Then Harry began unloading the heavy artillery. A jarring cross started it, and then another. They again were trading punch for punch, 30 for each man, but a last second dazzling hook pulled it out for Thomas, 15-11! It was dead even

!

Thomas got the jump in the 5^th, firing a colossal cross that stunned McMurtry

! Pat was throwing, but missing, not quite able to put his punches together. Thomas was pouring in hooks & crosses. Pat came back in the last minute with a bunch of jabs, but Thomas was still landing (38 times in all for the round) and winning big time, 16-6.

McMurtry had some swelling in his right eye, and Thomas got out to an early lead in the 6^th.Pat landed a crushing hook, regaining the upper hand, then his hooks and jabs flew with fury. Landing 39 times in all, he frustrated Thomas for a 12-6 round, and things were all even again!

Thomas went on the offensive in the 7^th. He landed some, but missed on a lot. McMurtry countered with a hammering hook, slowing Harry down briefly. But Thomas was like an oxen, plowing ahead. McMurty looked tired, and Thomas seized the moment with a cranium-cruncher that sent Pat flying. Pat was game, making Thomas miss, but Harry had landed enough to take it, 11-7!

Pat seemed to be moving slower, and Thomas took advantage of that in the 8^th, landing a smash that sent Pat to the mat

! He was back up at the count of 6, but visiting Bink Street, and a rejuvenated Thomas started banging away with his hooks and crosses. Pat blocked some, slipped a few others, but many more crashed home. Just as the bell sounded, Thomas unloaded with a classic cross, and Pat went down again

. He struggled valiantly, but couldn’t quite beat the count, and Harry Thomas was the winner by a KO at 3:00 of the 8^th!

It was the second straight fight where Thomas had scored a KO at the end of the round, though this one went a round longer. McMurtry, who had been outlanded 237-193, had fought a good fight, and was hugged by a victorious Thomas. The crowd cheered this good display of sportsmanship. Would his power prevail against Savarese?
